I consulted Reverso for the translation of two propositions from this lesson:
1. Dinner will be served within an hour
2. Dinner will be served in an hour's time
Both produce the same french phrase:
Le dîner sera servi dans une heure
My question: why Kwizbot showed error to my translation into English that read “Dinner will be served within an hour”
I translated 'don't you think that markets are more expensive ' as 'Ne penses-tu pas que les marchés soient plus chers'. It is an inverted verb in the negative form. I'm confused.
Statement: ...Je me sens beaucoup mieux ! Question: Tu sens une différence ?
Why does the question use sentir and not se sentir (ie, "Tu te sens...)? Is it because the statement is about feeling better ("internal" feeling) and the question is about feeling a difference (perceiving something)? Would "Tu te sens mieux ?" be a correct way to ask if someone is feeling better?
Thanks for the encouragement on the world environmental outlook as well as your encouragement of our sometimes snail like progress. I did this exercise 3 years ago and improved from 49 to 53. While I have made some meager progress, I feel the world, particularly with what just happened in the USA, is moving in the other direction. Nevertheless, I will continue the march toward toward fluency. What would help would be the ability to review your mistakes from past exercises. If there is a way to do this, I don't know how. In any case, thanks for your support and keep the challenges coming !
A couple of questions:
En forme et en bonne santé- is this a standard spelling despite the masc noun animal?
I struggle with the passive voice..."par" is supposed to be a signal of it....is "the rules have to be established" a passive voice? Why isn't the answer ....is faut que les règles établissent?
Thanks so much for your help with this
Ils s'aimaient jusqu'à la fin. Il se sont aimés jusqu'à la fin. Il me semble que le passé composé n'est pas correct dans cette situation.
Hi Kwiziq, please consider not breaking up full sentences. It makes it harder to figure out what's being said because we would have forgotten the context/previous phrase in the sentence/statement. Thank you.

I saw "paraître" followed by the past participle and not the infinitive in A Day In The Countryside.
"qui paraissaient occupés" was the answer while I had offered "qui paraissaient s'occuper"
Can you advise ?
Why do we place the adjective before the noun in some sentences, and after the noun in some sentences?
